From Blackheath Common to the streets around Blackheath Village, gardens here deserve planting that matches the area’s character. We design and build flower beds that bring structure, colour and scent through the seasons. Whether you want a fresh border along a path or a complete bed redesign, we handle creation, soil preparation, planting and mulching. Work is planned to suit SE3 plots, from compact front gardens to generous rear lawns.
Blackheath’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and period conversions often come with mature trees, established shrubs and heritage-style boundaries. Our approach respects existing features, while refreshing tired borders with perennials, annuals and bulbs that perform. If you’re in Greenwich, Lee or Lewisham, we’ll design planting that complements brickwork, iron railings and traditional paving. For sunnier gardens, we lean into long-flowering colour; for shaded corners, we choose foliage and woodland favourites.
Every project starts with a site visit to assess light levels, drainage and soil condition, then we propose a planting design you can maintain. We prepare the ground properly—improving structure, adding organic matter, and setting out plants for the right spacing and growth. Beds are finished with neat edging and a quality mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Homeowners choose us for clear communication, punctual scheduling, and a 10-year warranty on workmanship.
We regularly work across the flower beds Blackheath area, where mature trees can create dry shade and root competition. Access and parking near The Paragon and around All Saints Church can be tight, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. Gardens in the Royal Borough of Greenwich/London Borough of Lewisham vary from formal front plots to long rear gardens, and we tailor bed layouts to suit. We also select plants that cope with exposed spots near the Common and more sheltered courtyards.

Costs vary with bed size, access, soil condition and planting density. As a guide, small bed refreshes with soil improvement and replanting often start around £350–£900. New bed creation with edging, soil preparation, planting design and a full plant scheme is commonly £1,200–£3,500+. Larger gardens or premium planting palettes can be £4,000–£8,000+. We provide a written estimate after a site visit.
Most jobs take 1–3 days, depending on how much ground preparation is needed and the number of plants. A simple replant of an existing border can be completed in a day, while new bed creation with soil improvement, edging and mulching usually takes 2–3 days. Timescales are affected by access, waste removal, root clearance, and whether you want a phased seasonal planting plan.
In most cases, creating or replanting flower beds is permitted and doesn’t require planning permission. Restrictions can apply if your property is listed, within a conservation area, or if work affects boundary walls, railings, trees with protection orders, or the public highway. We’ll ask the right questions during the survey and can advise on checks with the Royal Borough of Greenwich or London Borough of Lewisham where relevant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the bed construction elements we install, such as edging, levels and ground preparation standards. Planting is living material, so success depends on weather and ongoing care; however, we select suitable plants for the site and give clear aftercare guidance. If an issue relates to our installation or preparation, we’ll put it right. Optional maintenance visits can be arranged.
We can create formal or relaxed beds with options such as steel edging, brick edging, timber sleepers, or natural stone borders. Planting can be cottage-style mixes, contemporary grasses and perennials, evergreen structure with seasonal bulbs, or pollinator-friendly schemes. We’ll recommend combinations based on light, soil and your preferred colours, plus how much maintenance you want. Mulch options include composted bark, leaf mould and soil improvers.
